The Problem
From the nylon bristles to the plastic body, it is extremely difficult to recycle a toothbrush properly. The combination makes the separation process too difficult for recycling and when they end up in the ocean and across beaches, they have not biodegraded the slightest. My design tackles this specific issue through modularity.

Tasked with the goal of tackling ocean plastic pollution right from the source, I designed a sustainable toothbrush designed to last forever. The Modular design allows for interchangeability and component replacement to reduce plastic waste pollution and allow for easy recycling.
